Flamenco Guitar for non-flamenco guitarists
Join Flamenco en Rouge musical director, Chris Robinson, for a great introduction to the basics of flamenco guitar. Understand the different “palos”(styles), rhythms, posture, technique and strumming style, which gives flamenco its very distinct sound.
By the end of the one hour session, you will be able to play a basic Tangos de Triana.
Classical, folk, rock guitarists welcome.
